What are thoughts on putting an instance behind a CDN?

    Yeah. Serving static assets is not a big deal with a decent web server. You can get servers with unmetered transfer and the CPU and memory for static resources is tiny. Main reason to use a CDN is latency.

    IF the static assets like images and video are being served by the application from other network sources or out of a database then a caching CDN would be a big win for sure.
